I am new to coaching here in Tennessee so I am trying to find out some information before we get too far into the season. Where I coached previously, you had to be a member of the state coaches association for your sport for your players to receive any type of recognition for All State and etc. I am curious if it is the same here in Tennessee. When I go to the http://thssca.org page all I get is a link giving a paypal chance to join. It mentions nothing regarding the benefits or expectations of the organization. From previous experience, I have found that information is not always communicated on purpose in an effort to reduce those participating in All State and National Programs.
Beyond the benefits to my players, I have always been involved in my local state association as a means of a professional commitment.
Not that it matters for this topic, but I am the boy's head coach at Fairview.
